Chapter 73: Business Trip (Part 2)

As the business van gradually drove away from A City, Zhou Xiaoru, who had been sulking the whole time, discovered another serious problem at this moment.

Such a large business van, why were there only three people sitting in it, including the driver!

This vehicle could seat at least seven or eight people, right!

Thinking back to how it was Zhang Haiyan who brought her onto this vehicle...

Could it be? Is this the CEO's private vehicle?!!

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it was!

From the very beginning, she had already fallen into the trap set by Gu Liyan!

Although this scumbag appeared serious on the surface, claiming it was for work.

But for such a big matter as going to a bid, no matter which department arranged the personnel for the business trip, they would not arrange for an Intern like her to go.

(Although that Gu person had secretly opened a back door for her, she was now an official employee of Tengyuan. But besides Mao Mao from the Personnel Department and the Executive Secretary, no one else knew about this.)

For this business trip arrangement, if Gu Liyan hadn't nodded, it would never have been her turn to go!

No wonder the gossips in the Personnel Department were all dying of jealousy over her.

Mao Mao was also tight-lipped enough, actually never announcing which person from the Personnel Department was being sent on the business trip.

In the end, it actually fell into the lap of Miss Zhou!

Zhou Xiaoru felt that she had been forcibly made a winner!

Could she choose not to go!

But what choice did she have now? She was already in the frying pan; how could she possibly climb out of the frying pan in one piece!

She was about to be deep-fried until she was crispy; now, all that was missing was for someone to sprinkle some cumin and chili salt on her, and she could be eaten directly.

Facing the documents that Zhang Haiyan had handed to her—which, in her view, were piled up like a mountain—regardless of what purpose Gu Liyan had in bringing her along on this business trip.

After all, she wasn't here for sightseeing, and there were work matters to attend to.

She took out the documents that Zhang Haiyan had handed over and marked, gave them to the person beside her, and then told this person exactly what Zhang Haiyan had said to her, word for word.

Gu Liyan had already entered work mode; he didn't say much, just took the folder and began to read it seriously.

Seeing him start reading the documents, Zhou Xiaoru hurriedly pulled out that gray folder from the very bottom.

Opening it to take a look, she was shocked by the tasks arranged on it!

She really wanted to smash this folder directly onto the head of the man beside her right now!

This was nowhere near the work a staff member should do; it was the work a nanny should do!

Look at what kind of things were on it!

Things like not eating spicy food, and choosing light, low-salt food.

And before he woke up, she had to prepare a cup of hot coffee; breakfast was to be a sandwich or toast; even the brand of toilet paper to use was clearly instructed on it!

Zhou Xiaoru was practically going to blind her own dog eyes!

Was this definitely a work itinerary for the next few days, and not the tasks of a temporary nanny?

My goodness! What on earth was this person's Executive Secretary used for!

How could it be detailed to this extent!

She had heard that Zhang Haiyan was a top student who graduated from a well-known university abroad, and she wasn't much older than her.

She looked good too, with a curvy figure, a busty chest, and a great physique!

In any enterprise, she would be a hot commodity in the company.

How did she become a drudge who had to take care of everything, even daily life, once she arrived at Tengyuan!

How exactly did this Gu person manage to torment such a beautiful, flower-like woman into a middle-aged busybody!

She had thought that this guy only knew how to bully her; she didn't expect that she wasn't the only victim.

Looking at the several full pages of precautions and the things to do during these few days of the business trip, Zhou Xiaoru could only use the word "breathtaking" to describe her current mood.

Perhaps because she had read too many romance novels, she couldn't help but start thinking to herself again.

She wondered if this Executive Secretary, who was moonlighting as a nanny, also did other indescribable things.

In romance novels, that's how it always played out!

Things like the CEO's personal little secretary, the overbearing CEO's bed-warming secretary, and so on.

She also didn't know if this Zhang Haiyan had been privately tormented by this guy!

Just thinking about it made Zhou Xiaoru feel creeped out!

Sure enough, the people around the CEO were no joke; that was simply not work for a human!

After roughly reading through the few pages of things, besides needing to pay attention to many details in Gu Liyan's daily life.

As for work matters, she only needed to take notes and organize documents when they were in meetings.

This point, for Zhou Xiaoru, was not difficult at all.

When the time came, if she really couldn't remember too many things, she had already thought it through: she would bring her phone, turn on the recording software, and record the content of their meeting conversations.

Then she would go back and organize them slowly; wouldn't that work? That way, she wouldn't miss any important details.

She was practically a genius!

As for Gu Liyan's daily life matters...

She felt that Zhang Haiyan was making a mountain out of a molehill; after all, she had dated that Gu person for a year.

She still understood a thing or two about what he liked and didn't like.

It was just that whether or not she did certain things depended on her mood.

Things like preparing hot coffee after he woke up—she would just have the beautiful room service attendant prepare it when the time came.

Who knows, maybe some subsequent stories might even happen.

It was also fortunate that she went on the business trip today; that love triangle drama performed by Du Feng and Gu Liyan at the school gate that day had already made the front page headlines of A University.

It is said that in the past two days, someone posted on the school forum, claiming that she is two-timing.

Some even threatened to go to the dormitory building where she lives to find her.

This has caused Zhou Xiaoru to sneak in and out of campus these past few days, terrified that someone might suddenly silence her.

But after all, a university is a place with rules and systems; how could such a scene from a gangster movie be staged here?

It's just that female gangsters—thinking about it, it really is an eyesore.

Zhou Xiaoru leaned against the back of the chair, watching the scenery along the way outside the car, her mind filled with messy thoughts.

As she thought, her eyelids began to droop; she was truly too sleepy.

Before long, she ultimately could not resist the encroaching sleepiness and gradually drifted off.

When Gu Liyan finished reading the documents in his hands and turned his head to look at the overly quiet person beside him, he discovered that the girl was already sleeping soundly against one side.

She hadn't slept all night, and now, early in the morning, sitting in the car, swaying back and forth just like a cradle—how could she not fall asleep!

Seeing that somewhat adorable sleeping face, Gu Liyan put down the folder in his hand and couldn't help but reach out to touch her warm little cheek.

Only at this moment did a gentle smile appear in the man's eyes and on his face.

He took off his own coat and covered her with it, then gently took the bag that Zhou Xiaoru was holding in her arms.

Then, he even whispered instructions to the driver, Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen, slow the car down a bit, no rush!"

"Understood, President!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

He couldn't help but think that this girl was truly lucky to have caught the eye of the Big Boss; it must be a blessing cultivated from a past life.

If Zhou Xiaoru knew that this was what he was thinking, she would definitely beat this guy up without a word!

This kind of blessing? She doesn't care for it at all! Whoever wants it can take it!

And while Zhou Xiaoru slept the whole way, President Gu had already finished all the work that needed to be done.

Seeing that they were approaching a service area nearby, the man still didn't have the heart to wake up the person who was sleeping like a dead pig.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoru had completely collapsed onto Gu Liyan.

Sleeping in a total mess!

And President Gu, taking advantage of this opportunity, secretly stole a few kisses.

How could he not take advantage of such an opportunity? He wasn't some saint who could resist temptation!

Poor Miss Zhou, she still thought she was having a wet dream.

At this time, in her dream, she was sleeping on a soft Simmons mattress, and beside her lay a naked, universe-invincible, super-handsome guy!

They had just experienced a night of passion and were sleeping soundly.

But just as the two in the back were, one having a grand dream and the other being intimate, Xiao Chen, who was driving in front, couldn't help but ask.

"President, should we stop at the service area ahead?"

Actually, he had been holding it in the whole way and had wanted to use the restroom, but the President seemed to have been watching the sleeping Zhou Xiaoru the entire time.

There was no intention to stop at all; if he didn't go solve his problem soon, he feared the one who would pee in the car wouldn't be Zhou Xiaoru, but him.

But the man, after glancing at the person collapsed on him, replied.

"Let's wait until the next service area." He still wanted to let Zhou Xiaoru sleep a while longer; by the time they reached the next service area, it would be just in time for lunch.

He would wake her up then.

President Gu was here, considerately thinking of the little woman he cared about.

But Xiao Chen was already in total despair, and it wasn't appropriate to directly suggest that he needed to relieve himself and have the Big Boss wait for him in the car.

Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to use the ultimate bladder-holding technique.

He must hold it! He must hold it in!

And just after their car had driven away from the service area, Zhou Xiaoru, who had slept the whole way, finally woke up.

She sat up, a bit dazed, looked outside, then looked around...

Damn it, everything just now was indeed just a dream!

In broad daylight, it was just right to have a daydream.

At this time, a man's low voice came from beside her, "Awake?"

Zhou Xiaoru acted as if she hadn't heard anything, stretched on her own, and even directly ignored the fact that she had just been sleeping on the man.

How could she let this guy seize on this matter and not let go! She could only play dumb first.

She looked at the situation outside the car and asked a question.

"Haven't we reached a service area yet?"

Hearing her mention the service area, the miserable Xiao Chen replied.

"We just passed one."

"Just passed?" This was too unfortunate.

Xiao Chen continued, "Yes, the President saw you hadn't woken up, so he didn't stop." This was torture for him, holding it the whole way.

Little did they know, Zhou Xiaoru had suddenly woken up from her beautiful dream precisely because she was bursting to pee!

She even said bluntly, "I want to go to the restroom!"

Why didn't he wake her up when they reached the service area? She wouldn't be grateful for any bullshit about him not having the heart to do so.

Gu Liyan said helplessly, "We are on the highway now; we can only wait until the next service area. Is it very urgent?"

Zhou Xiaoru nodded, and Xiao Chen, who was driving, almost blurted out that he was really urgent too!

But now, they were in the middle of nowhere; where could they go to relieve themselves?

This was a very serious problem...
